Why College is So Expensive: Coach Salaries

We've known this for quite awhile, because the television news talks about salaries of college and university coaches: they make way too much money. Tom and I talk about this all the time- that coaches at colleges and universities are overpaid. If you wonder why College Tuition skyrocketed since the mid-80s, it's because schools are paying coaches salaries in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. 

Deadspin has put together this handy breakdown of each state's highest-paid employee and, well, wow. What can you say. It's not exactly news that America spends a good deal of money on sports, but it's still a little stunning to see it broken down like this.
